Ben Quirk Silver Member Username: Quirky SA, Texas Post Number: 172 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 16:04 GMT nvm. i was thinking 8ohm. if i can remember 4ohm is positive to negative then positive to amp negative to amp.

I thought they were dual and I went out 2 wire them 2 my car and realized they only had one set of terminals. I feel retarded. I didn't realize they changed the W3 to SVC. Makes a lot more sense now and sry for the confusion.
